Nuri Sahin is tied to Borussia Dortmund until June 2019 after penning a contract extension.

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin has signed a contract extension until June 2019.

Sahin is in his second spell with Dortmund having re-joined them from Real Madrid in 2014.

The Turkey international has been limited to just eight appearances this season because of injuries and suffered a partial ligament tear in his ankle in Dortmund's 3-2 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

That injury is not as bad as initially feared and, despite his fitness problems, Dortmund have chosen to extend his stay at Signal Iduna Park.

"Everyone knows how comfortable I feel in Dortmund – both in the city and in this stadium with our extraordinary fans.
